thanks, y-you too
>>71857563
this movie deals with loss of his fiance when something tragic happens and whenever he tries to stop it, the same tragic event keeps occurring - showing that what we wish to change is not possible even with a time machine.
Powerful movie which should suit you well.

what if consciousness never ceases and we're trapped in pure misery
>>71858718
no because your brain stops working when you die and your brain is what causes consciousness

what if there is more to it then that
I mean, can you even imagine pure nothingness? I don't know if such a thing is even possible
what if our physical bodies cease to exist in reality but our so called "consciousness" or "perception" somehow continues on as if nothing changed?
everyone and everything knows you are dead except for you

What are you talking about? You were "dead" before you were born, it's the same thing. Good way to think of it if you're somehow too dumb to understand what the brain is.
>>71858851
Like a spirit? a soul?
Yea, humans have been thinking about that for a while now.
>>71858955
You sound absolutely fucking euphoric.
>>71858851
I swear I've thought more than once this... Mostly because I've had near death experiences , but the latest one (driving black out drunk to my home) made me actually believe that I died but my brain , consciousness, or soul call it whatever is just lingering
>>71858955
The whole of academia and humanity in general is "somehow too dumb to understand what the brain is." Your bio undergrad doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of the mind.
>>71859019
We don't fully understand the brain, but consciousness coming from the brain is obviously true. You're extremely unintelligent if you think there's a "soul."
>>71858955
>>71858955
Do you have any memory from when you were a 6 months baby? Or even 1 year old? The answer is no , that doesn't mean you didn't do shit back then...and you were pretty much alive

Religious people are really fucking dumb. Why do such a high percentage of /pol/ inbreds fail to understand where spaces go in language? It's hilarious.
>>71859017
There was a point where I was seriously considering suicide because I can convinced myself I had actually died in Iraq and everything since then was a hallucination as my brain shut down from bleeding out.
I wanted to be sure I was dead, but then I ended up not pulling the trigger.

I don't give a shit what word you use. If you think consciousness is anything other than an emergent property of the material world, you're a fucking moron. It makes even less sense if you take evolution into account, since then you have to explain how this magical consciousness evolved biologically.
>>71859182

I recommend the 1960 version or the original book over the remake. I also recommend the official sequel by Steven Baxter called "The Time Ships."
The remake has some awesome visual effects, but is kind of weak compared to the others.
Or watch/read them all, because they're all pretty good.
>>71859120
>you were "dead" before you were born
Your whole premise is just wrong. Are you talking before conception ? During the pregnancy ? Which one ? It seems you don't understand about basic science

Boy, I'm not even religious. There's so much shit science doesn't know about right now, which leads me to avoiding assumptions like the ones you're making. It could go either way with what happens after death.
>>71859275
Your whole brain is just wrong. You can't even fucking understand a simple explanation. Enjoy deluding yourself there's an afterlife for the rest of your short and shitty autistic existence.
>>71859356
I'm not mad about a comma, I'm just observing the amusing correlation between being a brain dead fat fucking loser from /pol/ and not understanding spacing or punctuation. See: >>71859275
4chan has so many people who think spaces go before punctuation. How? Haven't literal 5 year olds mastered that?
>>71859331
and you do realize that the fundamentals of science called the "scientific method" list observation as literally the first step

Fetus becomes conscious at some point toward the middle/end of pregnancy, so before that. The point is to pick any point in the 13.7 billion years before you were born. That's what being dead is. Not hard to grasp.

Why are you trying to explain something that the autist couldn't even get in the first place? You already won the argument, there's no point in responding.

Why do you assume they're from /pol/ when they have an opinion that differs from your own? There are people who use improper punctuation everywhere.

/pol/ crossposters are really easy to spot. They have an extremely poor understanding of essentially everything, and can be frequently found defending anything they perceive to be "conservative."
>>71859503
>Why do you assume they're from /pol/ when they have an opinion that differs from your own?

Death just means the cessation of life. What you're saying is equivalent to saying that we don't truly understand the subjective experience of a rock, since a dead person and a rock are exactly equal in terms of consciousness. You're right in the sense that science can't disprove MUH MAGIC, but that's why religious people are typically ignored rather than argued with. No one cares what sort of bullshit you dream up, go start a blog.

have you observed both being dead and being a rock?
didn't think so, unless you're implying you had a past life as a rock in which case you're the crazy religious fanatic
>>71859626
Calling out /pol/ is based in fact and observation. Calling people Jews is just something fat, retarded neckbeards do when they're out of arguments. A /pol/ shitposter's notion of a "Jew" is just a constructed strawman they made up. In contrast, you can click on /pol/ right now and witness literally the dumbest people in Earth circle jerking. It's also really easy to bait out neo-nazis into a dump of .jpg propaganda on any board, it happens regularly here.
You think you can equate two things with nothing in common because you're retarded.

>>71858851
You mean a ghost?
Those don't exist, retard.
After you die, the part of your brain that is "you" shuts down and begins to decompose with the rest of your body.
If you want some kind of solace to all of that, your molecules will eventually separate and form bonds elsewhere, sort of making you one with the rest of existence. But, again, "you", as you would traditionally think of it, will no longer exist.
>>71860129
so you're saying you've experienced death, and can prove this using scientific theory, with observation as your first objective?
again, didn't think so
stay real mad kid
>/tv/: the day atheists were #BTFO
>>71860173
We've observed death externally and, yes, the biological processes I mentioned all occur. The brain dies and neurons stop sending signals. Then you decay slowly and eventually your cells subdivide and fall apart.
There's certainly more evidence for that than continued existence after death, bro.
>>71860302
>We've observed death externally
so no, otherwise you're saying that science has literally everything figured out and there is nothing left to be discovered or understood
man I really wish I was 16 again. blissful ignorance
How the fuck did we start talking about /pol/ and why?
Some anon too scared to talk about this and derails the thread?
>>71860363
pretty much
>>71860363
hes been so BTFO he went from retard to spammer and now back to retard, he really isn't worth the trouble
>>71860363
It started with some anon autism and ocd. Something about commas and spaces that's lead to /pol/ somehow. I seriously believe he was triggered so hard he's probably laying on the floor puking his soul out.
>>71860355
No, what I'm saying is that we have observed the processes of death and there is zero evidence, so far, for the continuation of individual existence following death.
That's hardly the same thing as saying we should pack up our research because science has discovered all there is to know.
Believe what you want to believe, but don't act like the burden of proof lies with my point of view. You're the one who has to show that there's actually something after death, in spite of all evidence so far pointing to the contrary. And a crummy book written thousands of years ago by scared Jews in the desert isn't sufficient evidence.
>>71858509

It was only bantering but I know when someone has spent a lot of time hearing about religion. 9 years of catholic school myself,most of my generation went full agnostic or atheist. True story.
